redsn0w will display an alert telling you when the update has been successful. Redsn0w will prepare the restore image, your iPod will be placed into Recovery mode, and the update will be installed. On the page that appears, click on IPSW and in the navigation window that appears, navigate to the ipsw restore file on the desktop, select it, and click Open. To do that, launch redsn0w, click the Extras button, click Even More on the resulting screen, and click Restore. Instead, we’ll engage its powers to force an update. But we’re not going to use it for breaking into your iPod.

This is a tool normally used for jailbreaking iOS devices (the current version doesn’t jailbreak devices running iOS 6). (You access the Library folder within your user folder by holding down the Option key in the Finder and choosing Go > Library.) Drag this file to the desktop.ĭownload a copy of the free redsn0w application. You’ll find it by following this path: youruserfolder/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates. The first thing you need to do is locate the update file that iTunes has downloaded for you (it will be named something like iPod5,1_6_1_10B141_Restore.ipsw). Let go of the On/Off button but keep holding the Home button for another 10 seconds. Then hold down both the Home and On/Off button for 10 seconds. To do this, hold down the On/Off button until the iPod shuts off. Your next step is to try booting into Device Firmware Update (or DFU) mode. The Connect to iTunes screen you see indicates that your iPod is in recovery mode and clearly that’s not working. I can’t use my iPod at all as it only displays the Connect to iTunes screen.

Again, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn’t install it.

I tried this too but I got into this endless cycle where iTunes would download the latest update, the update wouldn’t install, and then I was told to restore again. And when I did, I was told I had to restore the iPod. I plugged it into my Mac, chose to update it in iTunes, and the update stalled on the iPod-the progress bar never filled in on the iPod’s screen. I’ve been trying to update my iPod touch to iOS 6 and it’s not working. Reader Cat Sorenson finds herself with an iPod that won’t update.
